Creek" is prepared to furnish the market
with anything in the line of fish, from a

preparation by means of an unique
dodger, the typographical style of which
seems to indicate that the ''printer" load
ed several varieties of type, "heads up, :"
into shotgun, and then fred them at the
paper. But mere mechanical eccentrici-

beauty of the text, which is as follows:

A T.a,ure Ut thu nnker Trial.

During the trial Of Van Baker his aged

figured, being more than once used by the
delenBe as theatrical properties. When
the verdict was read in court there was a
scene between Baker and his elder SOD,
then between him and his young daugh.
tor. The old father wan overwhelmed.
No wonder they were moved who saw
these things; it ia difficult to read OF them
without deepest sympathy with the old
father and the children. But these mel.
sncholy incidents do not. touch the ques.
ton which the jury vas to decide and
which it has decided against the accused.
The jury Gays that Van Baker murdered
his vito and his wiie's mother, quiet wo-
men whose lives were not forfeited by o
crime Of peculiar blackness.
The women were hurried OIL without o
warning, with no chance for special prep
ara!ion for the last event in life, with no
opportunity to taks exceptions aud to
argue motion fora new trial. On the as
sumption that tho law has hold o! the

out Of six played with the Statesmen. The
detsat Was the result Of bad aud unlocked
for errors on Crogan's part, Sol Whites
uaual error and weak work at critical
points by Bailey, who played behind the
bat.
There were about one thousand specta-
tors present to witnees the slaughter,
which, while expected, was mol looked
for from the source it came. sullivan's
aprsiued ankle made it impossible for him
to pitch, and Kimber wss still g sufferer
with come summer complaint. Dunn had
pitched two games in succession and the
management having in view this weeks
games with Zlnenyille, did not feel like
running the risk Of breaking him up By
putting him in the box Tor the third time.
1t was therefore decided to put in Reiver,
whose name appeared on the score card as
Moran. He fs young fellow from the
South Side, who has acquired some fame

saw tho kid go in the box they, meta
phorically speaking, threw up their hands.
But they were mistaken in the boy. He
was little nervous at frat and pitched
wild, but soon recovered himself and held
the Statesmen down in great shape. They
only got base hita with total OF u of

Dale for II hits with total OF IL. i
Had Rieyer been properly supported
the game would have been Wheeling's.
He is little weak at tho bat, but with

several times. Kingsley's fine home run
drive over tho right field fence in the
fifth was very pretty. Other features
were the vile throw OF Sol White to Bell,
sharp and daring fielding on the part oil
Nichol and Nicholson and their strong
batting, and remarkable double play
made by Holieran at frat. Taken all in
